The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. DEA's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA's commitment to Americans' safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.

Please remove solid medications from their containers. If submitting a container, please remove any identifying information or labels.

Solid dosage products and liquids in containers are accepted - liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain sealed in their original container.

Please ensure that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent leakage.

Intravenous solutions, injectables, needles, or syringes will not be accepted due to potential hazards posed by blood-borne pathogens.
